    I know this will sound weird to some people and to some they will sadly know where I'm coming from. Stephen King saved my sanity as a teenager. When i read his books i could leave my horrible home life for a few chapters at a time. When people talk about his drug/alcohol abuse. He's human. Shit happens. Mr. King is the one who told us He had a problem. He's overcome His addictions and is a better man for it. Be like STEPHEN KING!

      His books saved my sanity somehow as well!!. Especially Eddie, and the kids in IT, Rose Daniels in Rose Madder. I'm starting late but I'm finally going to school and I chose to major in Sociology and I really think his books combined with my childhood got me here. I keep Rose Madder with me nearly all the time, especially when I'm nervous or scared etc...

    Just finished The Institute...King has never slowed with his ability to write terror in ways we don’t usually expect. Another character-driven masterpiece, terrifying us in unorthodox ways. I pray it’s not going to be his last. He just appeared on The View, and he looks rearing to go...probably already working on his next. He produces something like 2,000 words per day, according to him.

      Yeah. He said he wanted to try something (a test). What he did, was read a few chapters of books from other Author's, and that would help get his creative juice's flowing, and the words and thoughts came to him FASTER than he was able to write them down. He said, BEFORE that, he was putting out about (1,000-1,200) words per day, and when he started doing THIS, he starting pumping out (2,000) words or MORE ... DAILY.
      That's equivalent to (6-7) BOOK pages--a DAY!
      It's no wonder he puts out a book every 6-MONTHS.

    I believe King has said that Pet Semetary was the one book that creeped him out the most. I have not seen the remake, but the first movie stands up remarkably well (which sort of surprised me). Also, considering that King himself was struck by a truck on a busy, yet small, Maine road, well, that was just weird.

    1.) There is *no* "the" in "Firestarter"... *still,* David Letterman! 2.) My favorite part of Creepshow was "The Crate," and its duration was one of the best things about it, because (as with "Alien") it gave time for the characters and situations to develop better, so we were more invested in their fates. 3.) I really enjoyed "Something To Tide You Over," and regard it as the 2nd best part of Creepshow, right after "The Crate." 4.) I wish more people would see "Creepshow," because it was a loving tribute to the genre, and *anything* featuring both you *and* you son is *guaranteed* to be good! 👍 5.) I'm quite convinced the key thing *was* a trick, yes. Come on, you *know* what Carl Sagan would say; Controlled conditions...which a salon *isn't.*

      I wasn't involved with any television show. But I, too, loved the Sanborn show. The first year it was called "Sunday Night," and then the second and last changed to "Night Music."
      I taped and have since digitized all of them. Most have been uploaded on You Tube by someone who recorded the Japanese syndicated version. Worth checking out.

      @@danielhammond9562 He apparently was coked out of his mind while filming Maximum Overdrive. I honestly just want to know what that set was like with Estevez, explosions everywhere, vehicle demolitions, and King running the beautifully ridiculous show with a bag in his pocket.

    My older sister read Carrie Book , but I was too young only 6 years old. One day I climbed My Sisters Closet & saw the Book Carrie.. A woman with Blood over her. I started to place stickers up in the closet that are still there today & Today no one knows about all the 50 stickers up in the closet.... There still there... today, no one is small enough to climb up closet & see them. Theirs a sticker from Jet Fire an Auto-bot Transformer that cost over 40$ in the 80's. No one today knows there still up in the closet.... after 38 years...

    Mr. King is a giant inspiration for me in my material. My Brother Mike would do a pretty weird but good impression of the zombie skeleton of the Father from Creepshow. It's my favorite Mr. King and Mr. Romero film.
    1. Creepshow
    2. IT
    3. Salem's Lot
    3. The Shining
    5. Storm Of The Century
    6. Rose Red
    7. Sleepwalkers
    8. Silver Bullet
    9. Pet Sematary
    10. Christine

    kind of cool how Letterman interviewed King on that daytime show in 1980, where King mentioned he was writing a script with George A. Romero.
    now here we have two years later, April Fool's Day, and King's now promoting the movie they made.
    which, as it happens, is of course _Creepshow_ and is a howlingly great time at the movies. scary, stupid, smart, funny, scary again. it's got it all.
    best B-Movie ever made, if you catch my meaning. it's not trying to be anything it isn't. it's just a really good, campy, atmospheric good time.
